This recipe was submitted to me by one of my readers, Penny. She told me that I had to give it a try. It’s my go-to banana bread recipe now! It’s light, moist, and amazingly soft. Penny told me that this recipe has been in her family for 30 years. She sent me a picture of the recipe card and it looked used and like it was 30 years old! This recipe is definitely a keeper. It’s the best banana bread recipe that I’ve tried! I am so glad that I have it for those over-ripe bananas.
Really Easy Air Fryer Banana Bread (mini Loaf!)
Ever since Penny gave me the recipe card for this banana bread I haven’t been able to stop making it. My friends and family are always raving about it! It is so moist every time and seriously the easiest quick bread I have ever made. Make this for a quick snack, breakfast or a side dish to any meal. Just know, it won’t last long!
The best thing about banana bread is the ingredient list is short and sweet. Nothing complicated here, just some over-ripe bananas and a handful of pantry staples! Check out the recipe card below for exact measurements.
Once bananas start turning brown with small and large spots on them they become softer. After another day or two the bananas will turn to a dark brown or black coloring. This is the perfect banana bread banana! If you are not ready to make banana bread quite yet with the ripe bananas, simply peel the bananas and place in a ziplock bag and freeze them. Then they can stay frozen for a month at a time. Now, you will always be ready to make delicious homemade banana bread.
Fluffy Plantain And Pecan Bread
Mashing bananas is simple as using a hand mixer and beating on low then increasing to medium-high speed once the bananas are mashed down enough.
Mix it all together and place in a loaf pan for baking. It is literally that simple. This is the best dessert bread to make in a pinch!
This is the fun part! You can mix in dried fruit, nuts, or even top your banana bread with a layer of frosting. The options are endless and have so much flavor to each of them. Making this bread over and over again just create more ideas for enhancing flavor in each loaf.

The Best Banana Bread Recipe
I had some overripe bananas leftover from my Banana Caramel Layer Cake recipe, and I just couldn't bare letting them go to waste. So what's the best thing to do when you have overripe bananas? Make banana bread, of course!
Before we begin, I'm not saying this is the most amazing banana bread recipe of all time. You can't really say that without tasting every single one. However, out of all the banana bread I've tasted in my days, this one is my absolute FAVOURITE!
What makes this banana bread so amazing? To begin, instead of using melted butter, I creamed the butter and sugar together to give the bread its light and fluffy texture.
Vegan Banana Bread
The butter needs to be at room temperature, not too soft and not too hard. It should be firm enough for your finger to leave an imprint when you press down on it. I recommend taking your butter out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you begin to let it come to room temperature.
For the sugar, I used regular white sugar instead of brown sugar, but you can go ahead and use brown sugar if you prefer. I heard it does amazing things for quick breads, so the next time I make this, I'll try to use brown sugar instead. Either way, it will still taste absolutely delicious!
I remade this recipe using brown sugar and I can definitely say this banana bread is still incredible no matter what type of sugar you use!
Banana Bread With Sour Cream
This recipe also uses 3 large overripe bananas (duh). To ripen them, I put the bunched bananas into a paper bag and placed them on top of the fridge so the heat could speed up the ripening. Doing this caused them to get overripe in about a week, but it may take longer for you, so check the bananas occasionally to see if they're ready.
Now if you don't have the time or patience for all of that, you can quickly ripen the bananas in the oven on a baking sheet at 300℉ for about 20 minutes, until the peels are blackened.
I added buttermilk to give this bread its moist and soft texture. Then I added cinnamon because it really boosts the flavour of the bread, and it goes perfectly with banana desserts!
The Best Vegan Banana Bread
I then tossed in some chopped walnuts because they add even more flavour, and I just LOVE the crunchy texture of the nuts blended with the softness of the bread. You can substitute the walnuts for any other type of nuts, chocolate chips or chunks, raisins, raspberries, blueberries or whatever your heart desires.
You can also omit the add-ins all together if you prefer to be one with the banana bread without anything getting in your way. Don't worry, I completely understand.
I don't think there's anything better than the smell of banana bread baking in the oven. I spent the entire time in the kitchen inhaling the banana fumes coming from the oven, then spent even more time in a banana daze while the bread was cooling. I really hope someone haas created a banana bread candle so I can order a lifetime supply.
Banana Bread With Chocolate Chips
And there you have it! The most amazing banana bread I'VE ever tasted (which says a lot, as I've previously mentioned, I hate bananas on their own and rebuke them in the name of Jesus. Amen.)
Pretty much the only way you will get me to eat bananas is if you bake them into a delicious bread or dessert. I might start letting my bananas get overripe on purpose, just so I have an excuse to make this recipe over and over again!
